Jay Fulmer a 38 year old from San Francisco, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony.
It was weird, Fulmer said.
I was in London and like, talking to this dude and it was raining and he pulled a face and said great weather eh? and I thought  wait a minute, no way is it great weather.

Fulmer then realized that the other mans mistake was in fact deliberate.

Fulmer who is 39 next month and married with children aged 8 and 3,
plans to use irony himself in the future.
Im like using it all the time, he said.
Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them to shit and I said
Hey great weather!
